Study of the behavior of earth materials and their interaction with structures.

"Geotechnical engineering, also known as geotechnics, is the branch of civil engineering concerned with the engineering behavior of earth materials."
"It uses the principles of soil mechanics and rock mechanics to solve its engineering problems."
"It also relies on knowledge of geology, hydrology, geophysics, and other related sciences."
"Geotechnical engineering has applications in military engineering, mining engineering, petroleum engineering, coastal engineering, and offshore construction."
"The fields of geotechnical engineering and engineering geology have overlapping knowledge areas."
"...while geotechnical engineering is a specialty of civil engineering..."
"...engineering geology is a specialty of geology."
